Microbiological Aspects of Energy-Efficient HVAC (Ventilation) Systems Houses

Article Preview

Abstract:

Currently it is under pressure to reduce the energy consumption of the buildings. The pressure is noticeably reflected in the current way of building designing, in general. Therefore, essential part of these objects become air-conditioning (ventilation) systems, mainly due to possibilities of heat recovery and controlled ventilation. This contribution focuses on ventilation systems, low energy houses, which aims to highlight the issue of purity of these systems on the microbial level. Evaluate the impact of external and internal environment following the condition of HVAC systems in time, in the real objects. The purpose (aim) of this all is to remind that there are other aspects that have to be considered in the design and subsequently, in the use of the systems, such as the impact of the nature of the building use on the purity of air-conditioning systems. It is necessary to point out that the presented ventilation systems have a significant impact on the creation of the internal environment, and equally they can harm, instead to be beneficial.
